Does the movie NEED to be accurate to make it a great movie? I never thought it needed to be, the storytelling, cinematography, score, acting, etc. makes it great. I enjoyed all the characters, Garfield losing his mind over fish eating other fish, Eisenberg dialogue about standing on anothers shoulders, etc. Great stuff.

The creators also made it that way to be more appealing to a general audience.

"In Rolling Stone's February 2015 appraisal of all 141 SNL cast members to date, Murphy was ranked second (behind John Belushi). "It is customary (and accurate) to say that Eddie Murphy is the only reason SNL survived the five-year wilderness without Lorne Michaels", the magazine noted."

I love David Fincher but I would rate TSN further down on his resume than his others. Still a very good movie, well executed, but accurate? Naw, there's a lot of the Sorkin exaggeration in it. The biggest sticking point is the lack of any Priscilla that I can recall, who has been basically with Mark through most of his adult life and initial rise.

> The majority of people want to see the American movie stars more than their own

No they don't, I have no idea what you're talking about

I know chinese movies are obsessed with white male hollywood stars because the chinese boomers responsible for all those crappy movies worship white men and think their path to soft power is to just have white men in it because they grew up poor and spent their lives making chinese knock off crap for white people so the inferiority complex is baked into their bones and unlike in less authoritarian countries nobody can tell these out of touch boomers no, but that has nothing to do with what chinese people actually want which is very clearly evidenced by how poorly all these movies do

So I have no idea why you just tried to lie about chinese people wanting to see american movie stars more than their own, a huge chunk of china's entertainment industry is literally just chinese idols in things, which is another reason china produces so many garbage tv shows

I'm down for more horror

Don't know why he wants to inject americans into a movie that takes place in a small korean town

This hollywood celebrity worship is just, you don't need it, as very clearly evidenced by the success of korean media even as hollywood tries it's hardest to emasculate asian men day in day out
